ORLANDO, Fla. — Casey Anthony decided not to testify in her own murder trial Thursday, as the defense rested its case in a Florida court.

After the lunch break on the 32nd day of the high-profile trial, defense attorney Jose Baez said he would not call any other witnesses, including Anthony, to the stand.

Ninth Circuit Chief Justice Judge Belvin Perry asked Anthony — the young mom accused of murdering her two-year-old daughter Caylee in 2008 — if it was her own decision not to testify. She answered, “Yes, sir,” and agreed that she has not been forced or pressured to arrive at that decision.

The suicide note of Casey Anthony’s father George Anthony was revealed to jurors as part of the prosecution’s rebuttal. “Caylee, here I come,” it read, according to the Orlando Sentinel. At one point, it added, “I have never been the man any of you can count on,” and, “I blame myself for her being done.”

George Anthony broke down on the witness stand Wednesday as he discussed his attempt to kill himself in January 2009 at a Daytona Beach hotel, where he wrote a suicide note to his wife while drinking beer and taking blood pressure pills. The note does not indicate that he knew his granddaughter’s cause of death, a key point for the prosecution.

But earlier Thursday, George Anthony’s alleged mistress Krystal Holloway testified that she had a relationship with the former police officer, who confided to her that Caylee’s death was “an accident that snowballed out of control.”

“We were talking about his daughter and I mentioned that I didn’t think he could raise somebody that was capable of harming her child,” Holloway told the jury, according to the Christian Science Monitor. “That’s when he said it was an accident that snowballed out of control.”

She added, “I was caught off guard by it, and when I looked up he had tears in his eyes.”

George Anthony on Tuesday denied that he had affair with Holloway and said he made no such statement about Caylee’s death.

Both of Casey Anthony’s parents took the witness stand once again Thursday to answer questions about the family’s tradition of burying their pets in the backyard.

Baez grilled George and Cindy Anthony about how they have laid their dogs and cats to rest over the past 25 years, trying to link the pet burials to the way their granddaughter Caylee was disposed.

The remains of the little girl were found in December 2008 wrapped in a plastic bag in a wooded area near the family’s Florida home, just south of Orlando, six months after she went missing. Her mother, 25-year-old Casey Anthony, is charged with her murder and could face the death penalty if convicted.

The defense has attempted to implicate George Anthony in an alleged cover-up of the toddler’s death. During bombshell opening statements last month, the defense claimed Caylee had accidentally drowned in her family’s swimming pool, with Baez saying Casey Anthony’s lies in the wake of the incident were triggered by alleged sexual abuse she had suffered as a girl at the hands of her father.

Prosecutors, meanwhile, have claimed that the young mother suffocated her daughter by placing duct tape over her nose and mouth.
